This is my favorite photo I took during the Bishop trip. I don't know who the climber is but he looked like he casually climbed up the Grandma Peabody boulder. He sat on top for a while, looking at the beautiful Bishop view. ⠀

This past week has been a lot of fun setting for the USAC Rope Comp. I set a route that I personally believe is the best rope route I've ever set. Which is a really exciting feeling to set something that feels like a personal best after a year and a half of setting. Especially after feeling uncreative the past couple of months in respect to rope.
So these first two photos feature the route I set. The main part I'm most proud of is the beta of pressing into the shelf then bumping your feet up and turning it into an undercling!

Being made to climb isn't something that happens overnight. Its a process that takes many years and hours of mastery. Being made to climb is a mindset of going further than you dreamed, higher than you imagined and trying harder than you thought was possible. Watch Kailas athlete @dannyclimbs7 reach for his potential during the first ascent of a V12 boulder in Utah, USA. 💪 #madetoclimb

Danny, master crimper and power climber finds a line that was passed over by many a strong climber. Check out his FA of Russia on the Foreign Relations boulder in Utah and see if you can channel his psyche next time you are out climbing! #madetoclimb@dannyclimbs7@kailasofficial@asanaclimbing

@dannyclimbs7 projecting a new climb, A lip traverse so long its more like horizontal sport climbing. Stay tuned for the full image! #madetoclimb .
Throwback to a pair of kailas pants so old we don't even know what they are. Still styling though 😎

Nothing like two photos taken seconds apart to show how quickly climbing can change from pure concentration to...whatever this is😂 #puntlife ————————————

I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited. ― Sylvia Plath | Going with a clear Bishop theme here lately. the Gleaner, Bishop, CA. Photo: @stephenleephoto

Another #usacbouldering nationals has come and gone and I had an amazing time! Despite not performing my best in finals, I’m happy to have finished 8th among a group of super strong competitors. Looking forward to competing in my first open nationals next month! 📸: @andrealaue@kailasofficial#madetoclimb#BYNC

I have two more days to try and finish off Monster Skank (5.13b) after a couple weeks of isolated effort. Send or not, I learned a lot about climbing on sandstone and am satisfied with my progression this trip. Stoked I found such a classic line to work! Thanks @areed_climbs for the recommendation.

After a week of obsessing over this V5 route at the SW @thecircuitgym, I finally nailed it! It took some effort to figure out how to conquer it without hurting or over straining my left elbow, but I got it! Granted, it's not as pretty as I'd like at the end--the struggle is real--but I'm proud nonetheless.

I had so much fun at Nationals! I surprised myself in qualifiers, and I’m excited to have placed 15th overall. On another note, it sucks to watch @teamrocknandjamn come to a close, but I’m glad I had the chance to represent the team that’s given me so much one last time. I’ll miss the north vs. souths and the lock-ins and the crag cleanups and the fruit roll up eating contests and the egyptian rat slap (peep the pic of me winning 😏) and everything else that made our team the amazing family that it is. We may not be in the same gym together, but we’ll always be a team. I can’t say thank you enough to everyone who has gotten me to where I am, and I wish everyone only the best for wherever we end up. For me, I’m headed to @teamdbcclimbing, and I’m excited to see where it takes me. #wearestillclimbing@kailasofficial#madetoclimb
